Unfortunately I wont be able to get to a lfs until wednesday/thursday. Will he be ok till then? Would the other fish get it? The white spots are like a grain of salt - how did I manage to get this? I havent introduced new fish since about 5 weeks ago. I actually done a 20% water change this...

My swordtail is all white spots, like tiny deposits on his body (not in his skin), and his tail fin is all tethered. How do I know it this is 'whitespot' and how do I treat it. None of my other fish are showing any signs of this.

ok, you are now my best friend, lol -- Please guide me - where is your thread. drop me a u2u about this, and your advice.

I hear what you are saying, but im in Northern Ireland therefore very few people keep saltwater fish here. Im trying to think out how to do this all myself to make it cheaper. I really have 900 max to spend, to try and get some live rock, sand etc all in that price. If I could see a similar...

okay......... are there any pics on threads here showing this? I was going to buy the tank as a tropical freshwater tank off the net, and buy the sump, skimmer ets seperate. My lfs is offering this tank, with stand, sump, skimmer etc - no rock/sand, for £920. Thought I could build it cheaper...

The tank will come with standard lighting, so I suppose I will have to change the bulbs just for marine bulbs. Why do you mention drilling the tank, what for? I was under the impression the pipes came into the tank through the back part of the cover at the top......?

Has anyone ever converted a Juwel vision 260 for marines? I was going to buy the tank and cabinet and puta sump in the bottom also. Do you use the original Juwel filter box for anything, do holes have to be drilled in the cover for pipes etc etc. All help appreciated as im new to marines...

I have a couple of vans and plenty of help at the ready for all this, but im still negotiating the price with the guy. Fish and corals are sold, as are the lights. He wont sell the RO unit he has, the MV computer and ozone thingy, and will only sell 65% of the rock. Not looking like im going to...

I have an offer on it at well less than 1k at the minute. I know it is worth a bit, but where we are I dont imagine many people keep salt water fish therefore who would want it, apart from myself of course. Should know over the weekend if im taking it or not.

I've decided to try marines and am looking at this set up. I was wondering if some of you could give me an idea what this is worth as it is second hand. I understand the equipment is really expensive to buy new. Description by owner: The tank is aqua medic anthies 120 4' 5" x 2'3" x...

Freswater/saltwater aquariums for dummies books I was thinking of buying these two books for added reading, i currently have tropical freshwater fishies but would like to have a marine set up by the end of the year. Anyone ever read these, are they any good. The reason im looking at these...

I've just bought a Juwel Rekord 120 tank, as a second tank (second hand). My main tank being one of the new Rekord 800's. Point is, I need a filter for it. I was think of keeping it internal, something like the Juwel one in my main tank. I would also like to incorporate the heater inside it...

There's no way 2 Gibiceps would eat that much, would they? Do you slice it or leave it whole and the skin on it? What way will this affect nitrites/ammonia/PH?

How much cucumber? They are about 3 inches long each (2 of them)

Ok ill try that, thanks!
